PS Seminar Series - PhD Exit Seminar - Structural investigation of the interaction between SIX effectors and resistance proteins »
Fungal pathogens are the main causative agents of disease in plants. Fusarium oxysporum is a diverse fungal pathogen able to infect a wide plant host range.
E&E Seminar: Animal responses to stressor interactions »
In nature, animals contend with numerous abiotic and biotic environmental challenges simultaneously.
PS Seminar Series - Technology for Continuous Directed Evolution of RuBisCO »
The enzyme Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate Carboxylase/Oxygenase (RuBisCO) is responsible for the entry of atmospheric carbon into the biosphere during photosynthesis. Despite this key role, RuBisCO maintains several biochemical shortcomings, making it an attractive target for laboratory protein engineering.
PS Seminar Series - Specific plant organelle pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins can act as C-to-U RNA editing factors in diverse genetic systems...
Site-specific C-to-U RNA editing is a hallmark of plant organelle transcript maturation. Up to thousands of specific cytidines are converted into uridines in plant chloroplasts and mitochondria, with no evidence of editing activity in the cytosol.
PS Seminar Series - Growth in fluctuating light buffers plants against photorespiratory perturbations »
Photorespiration (PR) is the pathway that detoxifies the product of the oxygenation reaction of Rubisco. It has been hypothesized that in dynamic light environments, PR provides a photoprotective function by serving as a sink for excess ATP and/or reducing equivalents.
E&E Seminar: The life and times of Port Jackson sharks »
The Fish Lab at Macquarie University has been studying Port Jackson sharks for over a decade. Our initial studies just tried to figure out where they go and what they do: basic behavioural ecology.
PS Seminar Series - The algal chloroplast as a testbed for synthetic biology and whole genome engineering »
The tiny, self-contained genetic system of the chloroplast (or plastid) in the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is well suited for genetic engineering and has recently seen a surge in the deployment of synthetic biology approaches.
PS Seminar Series - Plastid encoding of key genes for enhanced physiological and structural properties »
In my talk, I’d like to introduce two of my postdoctoral studies where I explored the independent expression of two genes in tobacco: Rubisco activase (RCA) and a spider silk gene, Major ampullate spidroin 1 (MaSp1).
PS Seminar Series- Advances in plant and microbial science: approaches to address global food and climate security »
Talk followed by panel discussion about future directions in Plant Science.
